Straight Pride Week at Youngstown State (1 Viewer)

[General Tso]

I am a strong supporter of gay rights, but there's a problem when posters like this aren't allowed at a University. Tolerance works both

ways. Gays need to be stronger than that, and smarter.

The organizer(s) of the "event" should go through the proper university channels and acquire sanction.

This was a satirical comment/demonstration to get rubes worked up.

If a person or group of people truly believed in a straight pride event, they would have gone through the proper channels and then made a greater impact with a free speech argument when/if they were denied.

Suckers

You forgot the part about there being two swear words in the poster as well.

This story is one of only two things I know about Youngstown St. The other is Jim Tressel.

That person would have been hounded off campus.

Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences of speech.
